[OOC] CLOSED - Ultimate One Universe: Season One

[AndyC]

This got RTed into my timeline and it makes me slightly sad Hellboy can’t be used in this game.

Behold one of the greatest moments in all of comics

HES GOT A GUN

@HenryJonesJr

The three greatest frames in the history of the medium. I use that as my FB banner, and have it framed on my wall.

The panels after it are pretty damn good too, when the monkey drops the gun and runs away as if nothing happened

I also have to love the call-back they did in The Amazing Screw-On Head. Which is honestly one of my favorite Mignola-related things period. Tragically, it never made it past this pilot episode which aired like once on a random night on the SyFy Channel and I happened to catch it by chance.



_{(On a similar subject, if we ever do approve non-Big Two characters, I'm totally applying for Screw-On Head)}

Holy crap I never knew they tried to do a Screw-On Head cartoon

@Lord Wraith

I never knew you left. I guess nobody had mentioned sex in a few hours, though.

Also, regarding my last 2 posts in the IC, I'm pushing Gwen's timeline forward, and will probably continue to do so as I move on. My original plan was to have season one run through her final year of high school. I don't know if that's going to work with our shorter season, but I'd like to get as far into the year as possible, as if there's a time jump in season 2 I'd like her to be in college at the start of the season. In reality, I kind of need her to be to fit with the overall story I had planned for Season 2.

Just want to keep people abreast of what I'm doing so no one freaks out when it's Halloween for her in a week or two, and Christmas a week after that.

This is why dates are important.

The Origin Myth of Ultimate Buttcracks: Thor had been so angry at Crusher Creel that he dealt an ass-kicking so profound that it reverberated through the entire species. From that day forth, no man, mutant, woman or vampire could completely rectify the chasm that Mjolner had cleaved behind a man's legs.

@Inkarnate

Well, that and because the good ones can sometimes lead to the sort of thing best reserved for @Lord Wraith's posts...

@HenryJonesJr

Judging by the pace that my Superman posts are going, I'll be amazed if Clark makes it through one week before Gwen graduates.

Time in these games is weird, y'all.

Lord Wraith is the Canadian God of Sex Scenes.

While I'd love to have characters like Hellboy appear, I'm probably just gonna go ahead and say upfront that he falls in line with The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Power Rangers - best left to another, Singular Universe type of game. For the time being, I want to maintain a strict focus on the main DC and Marvel characters.

@AndyC

I should really have learned to space out my posts more; at this rate Frank's gonna be done with his quest for vengeance before July is out.

But hey, by giving chronology the finger, we can officially call ourselves comic book writers.

@AndyC

Yea. I just don't know how else to make it work without doing some big jumps, unfortunately. The other other option would be to really spin my wheels in season 2...which I can theoretically do. I dunno. We'll see.

@Simple Unicycle

Honestly, I think my next post is gonna be a montage, just hit the high points of Toyman's reign of terror to catch up with the pack and have Supes on the proverbial ropes before he starts to mount a comeback. If we really want to wrap up Year One by the end of September, I'm gonna have to step on the gas pedal.

[Master Bruce]

Admittedly, I did throw all of you kind of a curveball with the three month time frame. Apologies on that. I just felt it better to keep things tight for the sake of moving along at a decent pace, because I desperately fear any burnout. This is the first successful game I've been apart of in, well, years. Usually it'd already be coming towards a slow, agonizing death by now.

Year Two will have a concrete start and end date, I swear. That way everyone knows what they're working with from the outset, and we can maybe extend the period of time in that season a bit if things continue to go well.

@AndyC

Probably gonna go for a time skip of about a month or so after I wrap up the arc with Silvermane, figure out something new for Frank so I have something to do considering I sped through my major arc in three weeks. Hm... Hey @HenryJonesJr, mind if I hijack your arc with Black Tarantula? :P

@Master Bruce

Sounds good. Once my Enforcers introductory arc is done at the end of the week, I'm going on vacation until next Wednesday. Going to take stock of where everyone else is in-game and then try and take stock of my outline to see how it can be reconfigured. Luckily I have enough rogues planned where I can move the Goblin saga out of next season and into Season 3 if it needs to/I can't make it work next season. No big deal, really. I can make it work.

@Simple Unicycle

Feel free to use the Cartel for some bad guys for Frank, I'd just ask you stay away from the characters I've used in it so far. The main players on that side of my story are probably going to go dark for a little bit on my end. You can PM me if you have something specific in mind.
